by Heinrich von Veldeke (c1150 - c1184)
Translation by Wilhelm Storck (1829 - 1905)

Tristan und Isolde
Language: German (Deutsch)  after the Mittelhochdeutsch 
  Tristan mußte sonder Wank
Weih'n Isolden Herz und Sinne;
  Denn es macht ihn liebekrank
Mehr das Gift, als selbst die Minne.
  Darum wiss' es stets mir Dank,
Gutes Weib, daß solchen Trank
Nie ich nahm und mehr dich minne
Noch als Jener, könnt' es sein.
Schöne Fraue,
Der ich traue,
Laß mich bleiben dein,
Aber sei du mein.
